MLK, Jr Storm!



Holy snowballs! Snow, ice, rain and wind? How are you all doing? That MLK, Jr Storm of 2012 sure did hit us hard here in Kent. Did you know that Governor Gregoire (she is in charge of Washington State) has declared Washington State in A State of Emergency? That means we need help from the nation recovering - help with money and man power to get us back up and running.

I am hoping your are warm and safe. I have been without power since Wednesday, Jan 18. We just got our power restored a few hours ago. Please listen carefully to the news tomorrow morning as to whether or not we have school at Emerald Park. The Kent School District will be open for business, and the teachers and staff have to report back to school tomorrow, but you may not. We are one of three schools that do not have adequate power restored, so you may not be coming to school on Tuesday, Jan 24. There will be posted information on the Kent School District web site by 5 AM, so look for information there.
We will have a lot to write about when we get back together. There must be at least 100 stories we could tell. What an adventure we've had. I hope you have taken time to read and practice your multiplication facts. See you all soon. I miss you all.
